This listing offers a collection of knitting machines — sometimes referred to as circular knitting machines — manufactured by SanGiacomo, an Italian company with a long-standing reputation in the hosiery and fine-knit textile industry, producing machinery widely used in the production of socks, stockings, and related knitted goods.
The lot comprises six machines in total, split across two models. Two units are the SanGiacomo Fantasia ST, each fitted with a 3¾-inch cylinder, a needle count of 156, and a gauge of 36. The remaining four units are the SanGiacomo Fantasia 2V, also built around a 3¾-inch cylinder, but carrying a higher needle count of 168 at the same gauge of 36. All six machines were manufactured in 2003.
The cylinder diameter of 3¾ inches is a standard dimension in fine-gauge hosiery knitting, and the gauge of 36 indicates a high needle density suited to the production of fine, lightweight knitted fabrics. The Fantasia ST machines, with their 156 needles, and the Fantasia 2V machines, with their 168 needles, reflect a modest but meaningful difference in knitting capacity within the same cylinder size, with the 2V designation typically pointing to a two-feed configuration, though buyers should verify the exact technical setup directly. All machines are offered as used, located in Poland, and date from the same production year, suggesting they may have operated as part of a unified production line.
